Police have identified the woman found strangled to death in the National Cemetery area earlier this week as Roberta Hugo, 56.

She was found lying face down in the grass shortly before 1 a.m. Monday on W. Lloyd Circle, the Memphis police wrote in a message on Twitter.

Jimmy Lewis, 37, has been charged with first-degree murder in Hugo's death. He also has been charged with rape and murder in perpetration of a felony. He will be in court Thursday.

Hugo's slaying was one of two violent incidents reported in Memphis on Monday.

Shortly before 2 p.m. on Monday, a woman was shot in what the police department called a home invasion in the 4100 block of Fizer in East Memphis. Three armed suspects fled on foot, the department said.
